While Elon Musk’s close relationship with President-elect Trump may seem unprecedented, U.S. CEOs have been fostering relationships with the Oval Office for over a century, according to Tevi Troy of Ronald Reagan Institute. One example: Henry Ford and President Woodrow Wilson in 1915. Next, it’s Christmas Eve! The North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, is back with its Santa tracking operations for the 69th year. General Gregory Guillot discusses NORAD’s efforts to monitor the airspace and track Santa’s journey. Plus, Trump’s FCC pick sent a stern letter to Disney’s Bob Iger, big banks are suing the Fed over the annual bank stress tests, and Hyundai will give its customers free EV adapters. Happy Holidays!
